The Atlantic Coast Conference is anticipating having a relatively normal football season but is preparing for scenarios that even include no sports this upcoming school year.

Asked whether he can see the ACC functioning if some schools and/or some athletics programs are up and running and some are not, Swofford said: “I think probably so. I don’t know what the threshold is on that. We haven’t really reached a point of having that discussion. I’m sure we will in due time as to whether it’s three-fourths or two-thirds or 50 percent or whatever it might be.

Swofford did emphasize the importance of testing and conference schools having at least similar testing protocols, and he announced that, as other conferences have done, the ACC has appointed a medical advisory panel comprising professionals from each of the conferences’ schools. He said he hopes the conference’s schools can agree on a baseline regarding how often to test athletes and when to test them.

Swofford also added his voice to the debate over whether it will be appropriate for college sports to begin in the fall if students are not taking classes on campus.
